Aaron Quinlan joined the USTAR Center for Genetic Discovery as associate director in 2015 and is currently associate professor of human genetics and biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. Quinlan has developed several popular software packages for large-scale genome analyses and human disease studies. By combining genetics and genomics techniques with computer science and machine learning, his research group is developing new ways to understand genome biology and the genetic basis of traits. The group strives to develop improved software to interpret human genomes and advance clinical treatment of human diseases.
